Captain Tommy^p,t¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 12-6| J: Mr Huw Edwards⁽⁷⁾| T: Fred Timmis| OR: 110| BF| D

20/1

Pulled up on final outing under Rules for Ian Williams 79 days ago and has disappointed in a point for current stable. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 6153P4

Jobsonfire¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Benjamin Abbott⁽⁷⁾| T: S Allwood| OR: 109| D

50/1

Has lost his form both under Rules and between the flags. Hard to fancy having unseated at Warwick 16 days ago.

Form: 23/PP4-U

Shang Tang^t⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Aimee Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss H Brookshaw| OR: 111

16/1

Fairly useful chaser. First run since leaving Emma Lavelle when respectable third of 8 in hunter chase (33/1) at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Not discounted.

Form: 46-U673

Tea Clipper^t1¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr James King| T: T Lacey| OR: 135| BF| D

2/11

Winless since scoring at Chepstow back in October 2021 but has subsequently acquitted himself well in a number of handicaps. Spurned a good opportunity (found little) in a hunter at Warwick 16 days ago but should be able to make amends in a first-time tongue strap.

Form: 8-92232

Miss Seagreen^p²⁷⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Broughton⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Lucy Smith| OR: 105| D

7/1

Multiple point winner who caused a surprise when landing a 5-runner hunter at Cheltenham 9 months ago. One of the more interesting contenders but has plenty to find with Tea Clipper.

Form: 3/P332-1

Forecasts

Tea Clipper (2/11), Miss Seagreen (7/1), Shang Tang (16/1), Captain Tommy (20/1), Jobsonfire (50/1)

Although disappointing last time, this looks like something of a formality for TEA CLIPPER who stands out on form by a long way. Shang Tang looks the likeliest to capitalise if the selection underperforms.
